    Hi! So I messed up, trying to repair a power outlet in the center console (the one by the aux) and I need help trying to figure out what to do. I tried splicing this wire where it connects to the power outlet, because the replacement one I got from auto zone said to do so, but I can't make it work. Now I'm just wondering if anyone knows
    A. Where I can get a replacement wire if I need


    B. What the connector looks like that connects the wire to the outlet plug (it's missing)
    C. Where I can get a new power outlet plug that's comparable to the original

    Please help!

    Did you check the fuse in the fuse block? It could just be blown? Can you use a digital voltmeter to source out the voltage on the wires?

    Your question is not completely clear.
    Neither is the picture (too much clutter).

    You do know that the metal shell of the power outlet needs to be grounded
    to complete the circuit.......right ??
